Meeting Description:

The aim of the conference is to gather researchers, language specialists and
educators from all levels and backgrounds to discuss the theory, practice and
the wider context of language teaching. The event will take a cross-cultural
approach to involve minority community languages, English as a foreign
language and European or international languages. With this broad approach in
mind, the event will also work as a community-building exercise in order to
create or reinforce the links between the different actors in the field of
language education and promoters of multilingualism in the context of Northern
Ireland.

Reflecting on recent positive developments in advancing linguistic diversity
in Northern Ireland, this conference will provide a space for rethinking and
re-examining language pedagogy in multilingual and international contexts,
including discussion panels focused on gender equality and diversity, graduate
language teaching assistants and internationalisation.

Early Career Researchers, and Languages Teachers, both at school and
university levels.
